Scarce First of Maus
Maus: A Survivor's Tale
Publication: New York: Pantheon, 1986. First Edition.
Notes: The first volume of Spiegelman's holocaust tale, originally serialized in RAW magazine. Maus is probably the most critically acclaimed graphic novel. It was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992; to date, the only graphic novel so honored.
A paperback original (the hardcover version was published years later; the book was reissued as "volume I" with an additional subtitle—"My Father Bleeds History" when the second volume was published, and that edition is often mistaken for this original first edition because the copyright page date did not change).
160 pages.
Edition + Condition: First edition (the last line of the copyright page reads, "Manufactured in U.S.A. First Edition"). This is a very good copy, with light wear to the corners. Nicer than average. The book is very susceptible to shelf wear and fine copies are very scarce.
